Here in Atlanta my employment law colleagues and I have filed (and won) a number of FLSA class action suits against the clubs based on the same misclassification threory. On behalf of both female and male dancers. So these actions have already spread around the country to lots of cities with large numbers of clubs.

I’m Jewish and know nothing about Christian rock, so I’d never heard of this song before I saw an ad for this movie on Lifetime (during Little Women Atlanta, I think?). It looks boring and I feel slightly bad for Dennis Quaid.

People on SNAP, even in strongly republican areas, typically don’t vote republican. They mostly don’t vote at all.

I think you’re right about people not being “owed” anything. We need to stop this pernicious entitlement mentality where people think they deserve help from the government simply by existing.

Ah, we finally get to hear from the Sooby-Doo Villain wing of the Democratic Party (apparently the only thing standing in the way of total success is those meddling kids!)

While you are almost certainly correct setting up the infrastructure to ensure compliance which will “catch” some tiny percentage of recipients every years is way, way more than the amount saved, it doesn’t matter.

As Matt Yglesias points out, the Democratic senators who voted for this bill didn’t even “pick their fights”!

So, even a white (and Jewish) person who is part of the Women’s March movement are part of the “any white person” group with whom you will not be engaging in any conversation on this issue? And Jews voted for Clinton at the highest rate among all white demographic groups. Jews as a group seem to be pretty resolute on…

If both sides entrench themselves and refuse to budge

There is no evidence non-pilot unions in the airline industry have provided any benefit to ramp workers or mechanics over the long run.

Ha, yeah. That’s what being bothered by how the rich have done everything the can to minimize their responsibility to givie to the society which allowed them to be rich in the first place and then making us dependent on their wealth growing even more in order for the rest of us to not eat cat food in retirement.…

That’s the whole point of the 401(k) as well as proposals to privatize SS. The capital owners want everyone to own a tiny, tiny, tiny amount of capital but have the performance of that capital be critical to the person’s life. It’s an attempt to align the interests of the majority with the interests of the extremely…

It’s pretty reasonable anger stemming from patronizing pricks creating a system to benefit themselves and then guffawing at the losers who suffer in the shitty system designed to screw them.

Yeah they are. It’s a 401(k) or nothing because there are no DB plans anymore for the vast majority of people. It’s basically the same way no one is “forced” to do a lot of things in our system.

Nope, your ability to control what you claim to own should not be a collective, social problem. You are not owed the ability to stop having to personally guard your “property” at all times by anyone and the real winners are the people who are good at engaging in violence and save their bullets using techniques that…

No, it isn’t. If it were “designed” to require compromise then there would be a requirement that all bills need total agreement from all legislators to pass. That is “requiring compromise”. But that’s not how the system is designed to operate. The system is designed to allow a group of people who have a certain…

The goal is to expand Medicaid and help struggling people in every part of VA. If the only way to make that happen is to hold the hospital in the rural area “hostage”, it’s not a shitty thing to do. The legislator from where that hospital is located is the only person who is doing something shitty. He wants his…

Kaine was necessary to balance the Democratic ticket. Hillary was way too radical for America to handle without being tempered by Governor Vaginal Ultrasound/Senator Letter to Obama’s CFPB Asking to Soften Banking Regulations

Or, this is actually what he believes and he isn’t just playing to the rubes. When these Democratic politicians say they need to be pragmatic and bi-partisan it turns out they are actually playing the party’s left by pretending they are only voting for these terrible bills because the electorate demands they prove…

Except everything you mentioned did slow down under Obama, since he effectively won both wars and brought troops home.
